Homemade Twix Bars

I love chocolate.  I am a true believer in that nothing can't be solved without some prayer and chocolate.

Another thing I love are Twix Bars.  *drool*  Twix Bars.... *sigh*

So anyway, when I came across this recipe at Fresh From the Farm, I just had to make it.

We loved them, now I'll say that they are not exactly the same as Twix bars though they are very close, the peanut butter kinda threw me off a bit, I think next time I'll omit it.

NOTES:  I used Ritz Crackers instead of the Club Crackers.  Not sure it would make much of a difference, but just want you to know what I changed in the recipe.

48 Club Crackers (24 for each layer)

Caramel Mixture
1 cup Graham Crackers, crushed
3/4 cup Brown Sugar, packed
1/3 cup White Sugar
1/3 cup Milk
1/2 cup Butter!

Frosting
2/3 cup Peanut Butter
1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips

Put a layer of Club Crackers in a 13 x 9 pan most pans that size will fit 24 crackers.

In a heavy saucepan on the stove, combine all ingredients for caramel mixture.

Bring to a boil, continue to stir and boil for approximately 4 minutes. The mixture will be caramel like and pull away from the sides of the pan. Pour over the crackers. Immediately top with another layer of Club Crackers, pressing down slightly. Place in fridge to chill.

Combine frosting ingredients in a microwave safe bowl,

and melt for 2 minutes on medium power. Stir until all the chips are melted. Pour the mixture over the crackers, frost and place in fridge to chill until frosting is firm.

Cut and serve! For best results store in the refrigerator

Magic Cookie Bars

Have a batch of Magic Cookie Bars baking in the oven.

I don't think there's anything that I can say about these that you haven't heard before, for the most part when you talk about them you are usually met with "Oh yeah, I remember eating those when I was little".....or "Oh now those bring back memories".

So I'm going to say nothing else, I'm just going to let YOU reminisce about what Magic Cookie Bars remind you of.
